Staff procession
All academic and professional staff members are encouraged to celebrate students' achievements by participating in a staff procession at a graduation ceremony.
Register for the procession and/or your academic dress
December 2023 ceremonies
Registrations open: Monday 13 November
Registrations close: Wednesday 6 December
Register your participation in the staff procession and let us know whether you need to borrow Monash academic dress (or if you have your own). You can wear academic dress from the University you graduated from – you’ll just need to bring it with you.
All ceremonies have limited numbers in the procession (due to seating capacity on stage and COVID-19 restrictions), so seating preference is given to the supervisors of doctoral candidates.
All enquiries can be sent to academic.procession@monash.edu.
Monash staff registration (login)
After submitting your form, we'll email you to acknowledge your registration.
On the day of the ceremony
If you’re borrowing a gown, you can collect it at the Alan Finkel Room in the Chancellery building from 9.30am.
The procession will assemble in the foyer of the Chancellery building at 10.30am (for the 11am ceremony) and 3.30pm (for the 4pm ceremony).
Academic dress
Borrowing academic dress
You can wear your own academic dress for the ceremony, or you can borrow academic dress free of charge for the ceremony.
If you’re a Monash University graduate, you’ll wear the Monash academic dress relevant to your award. If you graduated from another institution, you can borrow a Council gown (without a hood or stole) and trencher cap.
